[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1onewolf:
My room is a dead zone cellular signal wise and I'm frequently stuck between 0-1 bars of signal. Leaving my phone in airplane mode overnight results in a drain about 2-4% battery life but leaving my phone as is drains about 10-15% battery life (due to what I think is the phone constantly searching for a cellular signal). While reception is terrible in my room, I am still able to make and receive phone calls (albeit with terrible voice quality).

Some obvious solutions:

1) Keep the phone charged overnight

2) Move the phone elsewhere to another room with better signal

3) Keep the phone in airplane mode.

These solutions also have drawbacks such as not being able to receive phone calls, not having your phone in the room and etc.

This isn't a problem if I can just keep my phone charged overnight. However on days where I don't have much phone usage, I'm often left with a phone with 60-70% battery left at night and wake up to find my phone with 10-15% less battery from that leaving me in a situation where my phone might die halfway during the next day.

Today I found myself in a similar situation.

I charged my phone yesterday evening around 17:00 or so and unplugged my phone when it finished charging and left it on overnight. With minimal phone usage today I'm left with around 50% battery around 21 hours later. Though that's pretty good, I know from experience that had I been proactively using my phone I'd be in the red by now and my phone would've been dead a few hours from now (which puts me in a bad spot should I need to go out in the evening without a working phone on me)

I know I'm not the only nexus 4 user who suffers from this but I haven't really found a thread addressing this.

What can I do to prevent this 10-15% battery drain overnight caused by low cellular signal (aside from the obvious stuff above) so that I have more juice to squeeze the next day?

Hi, I just got a S2 LtE rogers version sgh-1727r

I looked for a while and maybe you can help me quicker.

I am on GB and wonder what a good rom is for this ? ( i need otg, and other features, but like stable)

How can I root this on a mac (the easiest way) and is it the same as the ATT version ?

Thanks everyone ! I hope I am not cluttering up the board as i am sure the answers are there somewhere but my slow internet is bluetooth over a blackberry so as you imagine i am kind of having a hard time.

I am a noob to this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Use kies to upgrade to ics. Then read the stickies in the i957 development section. That'll get you started.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Hi blendobass!

The correct model # is SGH-i727r. CyanogenMod 10 has USB OTG and is stable.

Read this thread for how to get CWM which you will need to flash CyanogenMod.

Or you could do as jd1639 says, update to ICS over kies. However i don't know if stock ICS has USB OTG enabled or not. The model he is referring to (i957) is nonexistant so i don't really know what he's talking about. Reading the stickies in the i727 forum won't hurt though.

Good Luck!

You need to flash gapps if you're using cm base Roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Are you using vincom's superlite rom? If so you probably need to flash the gapps package to get Google and play. Did you back up anything before you installed cm10 and of so what did you use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blendobass:
No I just flashed CM10 and it is so smooth, I am comparing with a NExus 4 right beside it and it is almost as just as responsive pretty stoked about it, glad i upgraded this and it feels like the vanilla android everyone talks about.

I don't think i can restore from backup as i messed up a bit flashing the rom (didn't clear the cache and stuff in the right ordeer so I think my last rom on there might have GB but I would hate to go back and mess with everything now, maybe I will just dig around for a good package to flash with all the google apps, just not sure what one to trust or if it will give me all the new google features (athough I don't like google now)

thanks guys and if any noobs are totally clueless like me about how to get your Rogers LTE S2 from old GB to unlocked and JB with Cm-10 I don't mind helping you out, it is confusing but once you do it, it all makes sense and I could now prob do it in a half hour while having a beer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Dude, you have a pretty phone that doesn't do anything. You need to flash a gapps package for it do anything more than make phone calls whether you like Google or not. Before you do anything else read vincom's stickies in the development section. If you read them close enough you might find the gapps package you need. After you do the reading and if you have questions then ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
how do you know you dont like google now, if you were coming for gb you never tried it, its the best app google has ever made, imho, its really not confusing if you read a few of the "updated stickies", but looking at your profile you should at least know of gapps, i didnt list the gapps packages because each dev has there own preference for their rom, and team chopsticks still recommends the 0726 on their website

CM 10 install abort on SGH-I727R from Rogers

I have a SGH-I727R from Rogers (Samsung Galaxy II S LTE). Thanks to the great information I've found from some of you, I successfully installed CWM 5.8.1.3 using Odin and rooted so I could back up with Titanium backup.

When I tried to install the Skyrocket zip for Cyanogen mod 10.0.0, the install (from CWM) was aborted. It seems to check for SGH-I727 but not with the extra R. So I'm stuck at the moment.

I'm digging and digging through the forums as someone has to have run into this before me. Just in case anyone notices my post and doesn't mind pointing me in the right direction, I would be grateful. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
If it aborted, the likely culpret is that you didn't do an MD5 hash check on your rom download.

Check vincom's stickies, you'll find a md5 checker in there. The site you got it from will have the hash # on that page. Download, and check it twice. Once on your computer and again once you have transfered it to your device. "Dev-Host" is notorious for borking downloads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 42aross:
Not the m5sum

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately that isn't it. md5sums match website/computer/sd card on phone.

The error I see during install seems pretty clear. It shows the installer checking build properties and device properties. It looks to be checking for various device strings like skyrocket and SGH-I727. My device from Rogers is SGH-I727R so doesn't match causing the install abort.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr3gg0:
I was really happy with CM10 on my phone on Rogers, better battery life, nice interface, customizability, etc. I had some pretty serious issues with outbound call quality though and just ditched CM10 for AOKP, just as an FYI you might want to check outbound quality with a friend - especially if your phone is used for business.

Upgrading from cm 10.0.0 to cm 10.1.2

This may be off topic so please forgive and let me know.

I've got cm 10.0.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S II (sgh-1727r from Rogers). It's been working really well.

I noticed cm 10.1.2 for the skyrocket was available from the cm updates feature. I tried that last night but had to fall back and restore my backup. Even though wifi & almost all apps were happy, I couldn't make calls, 3G/4G data network wasn't working, and the GPS wasn't working.

My suspicion, based on the file name, is that my cm 10.0.0 rom was tweaked for the Rogers S II so I need to get a similarly modified 10.1.2 rom. I know some people here have the same phone and I was hoping to confirm or for some pointers if possible. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
No, you are wrong. Cm10.1 requires ucmc1 or ruxuma7 radio. You have neither, hence no data or calls
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 42aross:
Ok, thank you.

If I'm not misunderstanding, then cm 10.1.x+ will never work on my phone?

Thanks again, I really appreciate the information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Wrong again. Just use the correct radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 42aross:
Ok, I must have benefited from someone doing work for me in my cm 10.0.0 ROM. I never had to do anything for radio.

Doing some searches, I see some posts about installing radio files. If there's a post, thread, or page I can read that explains a bit about this, I'd be grateful for a pointer so I can get started figuring this out. Or hints for search terms I should use.

Thanks again. The patience and tips are appreciated.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ceo4eva:
I'm wondering if there is some type of reference that simplifies all the things that these kernel devs talk about.

Like all the OC/UV ZRAM etc. like what is all of this.

I know I need to learn this stuff cause this phone should not have me waiting to switch apps or for the screen to rotate. I don't want memories of my HD2.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ToxicWaste:
Go into Android Development and look for Elemental kernel. The dev did a great job of explaining each aspect of a kernel. Most of your questions and then some will be answered. First page of his thread is the location of the info.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ceo4eva:
Thanks for the tip but I can't help but assume that the details the dev Included were kinda geared toward people who have more knowledge about this than I do
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ToxicWaste:
You need to keep in mind that many of the things you're requesting to learn are all very much general. It becomes subjective when you start building your phones settings with the kernel of your choice. Sometimes a souped up kernel isn't the answer. Sometimes changing settings backfires with poorer performance and worse battery life. You need to experiment as not all phones (even though we have One Xs) aren't built 100% equally.

I truly recommend flashing one and starting out slow. When you change things, remember what the default values are and increment minimally. Overclocking is great but beware it can be unstable, just like underclocking. Also, the same goes for voltage. I personally leave it default. Always have. On Viper3.1 and Elemental kernel (currently 2.1), I've had massive success with battery life. Not all roms are the same though.

Again, I would search around more, get more opinions but realistically, just try for yourself. Don't get too extreme with settings and you WILL be fine. :D

Hey there everyone!

I logged onto Kurio's live chat support, played dumb, and they provided me a stock ROM! :D

I'm out right now so I can't upload it, but I will as soon as I get home. I'll give early instructions, though.

Edit: I really wanted to make a mirror, but after countless issues trying to upload the ROM to MediaFire, here's the original link.

https://www.yousendit.com/dl?phi_ac..._download%26batch_id%3DUW13T0NUQzdkMnRsQXNUQw

Instructions:

Put the ROM (don't unzip it) on a formatted SD card and put it the tablet.

With the tablet turned off, hold the power button and the + volume button until you see a dead Android with a caution symbol.

Press the + and - volume buttons together and it should give you a list of options.

Use the - volume button to scroll, and the power button to select. Select "Apply update from External SD"

Select the ROM, and you're done! If it gives you a black screen after the boot animation just go back into recovery and factory reset.
